    Some of the accommodation is prepaid but we'll be in a fairly remote area for a few days with accommodation that will only take cash. Shouldn't be a major issue, but I don't want to waste time on holiday making trips in the car to seek out an ATM.

    Surely you can take a wodge of cash and simply split it up if you're [STRIKE]paranoid[/STRIKE] security-minded.
    For example, split €1000 into 5 x 200, secrete one lot in the car, 1 each in oyur wallet or purse, and the other two in your bags. If there are more than two people in your party it's even easier.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Yeah, I'm sure it's not an issue. I'm not actually thinking about it as much as it appears from my posts on this thread...
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
